Default Syncing Feeling

I've got a "syncing" feeling (sorry) that you're right. However, if they really want to make WM more consumer-friendly, they need to keep PC syncing as an option. Syncing to an Exchange server won't cut it, even if it's free, because you can't synchronize files there. So programs like eWallet would be a lot less useful.

I suppose Microsoft could have some cloud (I hate that term) syncing (like Live Mesh?), but what if I don't have Internet access? Nope, I still want to be able to sync with my own PC.
